Executive Director Charlotte Mouquin describes this event as a “lively energetic evening with phenomenal artists, it is a house party for the Pelham Art Center. Home is where the art is – and here you can bring art home, physically and with the experience of being in an interactive art party environment.”

Studio Café will also be the preview of Collectibles. Collectibles includes the work of 10 artists hand selected by Executive Director Charlotte Mouquin. All of the works in this exhibition will be priced under $2,500 by mid career and emerging artists making this the perfect collecting opportunity to take home works by Cey Adams, Michael DeFeo, and Katy Gary to name a few.

There will be live art models being rendered by our key teaching artists at the Pelham Art Center such as Frank Guida, Donna Ross, and JC English.

Live music with exceptional jazz guitarist Dan Haedicke and vocals by Sarah Rayani begin the evening. This contemporary jazz duo combines classic jazz with a contemporary twist and covers some old school hip hop. Sarah Rayani uses sultry sounds of classic jazz and soul and makes it cooler. DJ Dick at Nite – aka Dick Burroughs the Brooklyn based Writer, DJ, Curator, and TV Personality will be spinning funky sounds to keep this party hopping.
